The basic schedule of the CRCD class has been covered in previous AAR’s so I won’t get into details of terrain and program of instruction. Let me just state first off that every person who is physically able ought to be taking classes like this. It is every American’s responsibility, not option mind you, but […]

I participated in the Feb 1-2 CRCD class. This was my first time at MVT, and it was terrific. There have been a great many AARs written already by previous students that deal with the content of the class, and explain it well. Reading these AARs was instrumental in my decision to attend the class. […]

Courtesy of ‘F’:   It was a good CRCD class this last weekend. 9 students, including a four man fire team from Tennessee, and two buddy pairs made up of brothers, making up another fire team. I hope to get some AARs in, which I will put up. Looking forwards, classes are filling up from […]

AAR: Patrol Class, Jan 18-20, 2014, Eddie Everyone else has covered the class in very well written AAR’s. I’m going to say that Max outdid himself on this one. If you’ve been to CRCD and were impressed… then hurry up and lock in your spot for the next Patrol class!! To the other 8 and […]

Misfit follows up with more excellent information and detail on the Squad Designated Marksman (SDM). I was disappointed at some of the response to his previous guest post ‘Long Range Shooters‘, because it seems some are determined to take it down the caliber debate rabbit hole. Let me be clear on that: It’s OK to […]

As you may be aware if you follow the blog, I have gone full time with the MVT training business. With the effort and time invested at the training site, improving it and getting it ready for the Combat Patrol Class, I have got somewhat behind on writing the sequel to ‘Patriot Dawn: The Resistance […]

The Feb 22-23 CRCD class is one of those that seems to have fallen in the cracks a little. I have classes filling up on both sides, but not this one. I hope to be able to run it , and not cancel it. I really need a minimum of eight in order for everyone […]

I came across the following video on YouTube. I found it very interesting. It is discussing the ‘fatal funnel fallacy’ and I find it very refreshing that some are starting to question the ‘conventional wisdom’ of CQB. I have written about this often in the past and have often criticized what I term ‘SWAT Style’ […]
